Steps:
- Cook the Ricotta cheese and butter on low to medium heat.
- (Sometimes the Ricotta splatters; keep it half covered at low to medium heat, stirring often to avoid burning.) After about ½ hour, stir in the sugar and dry milk.
- Cook, while stirring, until the Ricotta is of dry consistency, like paste that can be easily spread (10 to 15 minutes).
- Mix in the almonds and crushed cardamom.
- Spread in a non-stick 12x18" cookie sheet, about 1/3 inches thick.
- Pat gently with wax paper or spatula to make it even.
- Cover with the varak sheets for decorative look.
- Cut into squares or diamond shape when cool.
- Store in the refrigerator.
- Variation: Cook the Ricotta in the microwave oven, starting with 5 minutes at high.
- You can also cook it in the conventional oven.
- May add about ½ cup cocoa powder along with sugar to give chocolate taste and look.
- Or add about 1 cup slightly roasted and ground sesame seeds, along with other nuts, towards the end of cooking.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a deep pan.
- Add ricotta cheese, stirring until smooth, for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add condensed milk.
- Turn heat to LOW, heat the entire mixture for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add almonds and/or pistachios. (I added some coconut chopped super-fine with pistachios).
- EITHER: pour mixture into a square pan, let set in fridge for 4 hours, cut into squares.
- OR: Let cool in fridge, serve ice-cream sized scoop, garnished with whole pistachio or almond.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use well-drained ricotta cheese.
- If you don't have a marble slab, you can use a large baking sheet instead.
- To make sure the burfi is set, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the burfi is ready.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat ricotta cheese.
- If you want a sweeter burfi, add more sugar.
- For a more festive look, decorate the burfi with chopped nuts or edible silver leaf.
